Jean Louis, baron Bourgain was a Belgian mathematician. He was awarded the Fields Medal in 1994 in recognition of his work on several core topics of mathematical analysis such as the geometry of Banach spaces, harmonic analysis, ergodic theory and nonlinear partial differential equations from mathematical physics.
Pierre-Louis Lions is a French mathematician. He is known for a number of contributions to the fields of partial differential equations and the calculus of variations. He was a recipient of the 1994 Fields Medal and the 1991 Prize of the Philip Morris tobacco and cigarette company.
Richard Melvin Schoen is an American mathematician known for his work in differential geometry and geometric analysis. He is best known for the resolution of the Yamabe problem in 1984.
Bertram Kostant was an American mathematician who worked in representation theory, differential geometry, and mathematical physics.
Jean-Michel Bismut is a French mathematician who has been a professor at the Université Paris-Sud since 1981. His mathematical career covers two apparently different branches of mathematics: probability theory and differential geometry. Ideas from probability play an important role in his works on geometry.
Victor Yakovlevich Pan is a Soviet and American mathematician and computer scientist, known for his research on algorithms for polynomials and matrix multiplication.
Adolf Edward Nussbaum was a German-born American theoretical mathematician who was a professor of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis for nearly 40 years. He worked with others in 20th-century theoretical physics and mathematics such as J. Robert Oppenheimer and John von Neumann, and was acquainted with Albert Einstein.
Charalambos Dionisios Aliprantis was a Greek-American economist and mathematician who introduced Banach space and Riesz space methods in economic theory. He was born in Cefalonia, Greece in 1946 and immigrated to the US in 1969, where he obtained his PhD in Mathematics from Caltech in June 1973.
Beginning in 1974, the fictitious Peter Orno appeared as the author of research papers in mathematics. According to Robert Phelps, the name "P. Orno" is a pseudonym that was inspired by "porno", an abbreviation for "pornography". Orno's short papers have been called "elegant" contributions to functional analysis. Orno's theorem on linear operators is important in the theory of Banach spaces. Research mathematicians have written acknowledgments that have thanked Orno for stimulating discussions and for Orno's generosity in allowing others to publish his results. The Mathematical Association of America's journals have also published more than a dozen problems whose solutions were submitted in the name of Orno.
Judith D. Sally was an American mathematician who was Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Northwestern University. Her research was in commutative algebra, particularly in the study of Noetherian local rings and graded rings.
Lawrence David Guth is a professor of mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
J. (Jean) François Treves is an American mathematician, specializing in partial differential equations.
Jack Kenneth Hale was an American mathematician working primarily in the field of dynamical systems and functional differential equations.
Barbara Diane MacCluer is an American mathematician. She is a former professor of mathematics at the University of Virginia and now a professor emeritus there. Her research specialty is in operator theory and composition operators. She is known for the books she has written on this subject and related areas of functional analysis.
Daniel Burrill Ray was an American mathematician. He is known for Ray-Singer torsion.
Christopher Bishop is an American mathematician on the faculty at Stony Brook University. He received his bachelor's in mathematics from Michigan State University in 1982, going on from there to spend a year at Cambridge University, receiving at Cambridge a Certificate of Advanced Study in mathematics, before entering the University of Chicago in 1983 for his doctoral studies in mathematics. As a graduate student in Chicago, his advisor, Peter Jones, took a position at Yale University, causing Bishop to spend the years 1985–87 at Yale as a visiting graduate student and programmer. Nonetheless, he received his PhD from the University of Chicago in 1987.
Samuel James Patterson is a Northern Irish mathematician specializing in analytic number theory. He has been a professor at the University of Göttingen since 1981.
Michael Handel is an American mathematician known for his work in Geometric group theory. He is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at Lehman College of the City University of New York and a Professor of Mathematics at the CUNY Graduate Center.
Dan Burghelea is a Romanian-American mathematician, academic, and researcher. He is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at Ohio State University.
George James Minty Jr. was an American mathematician, specializing in mathematical analysis and discrete mathematics. He is known for the Klee–Minty cube, the Browder–Minty theorem, the introduction of oriented regular matroids, and the Minty-Vitaver theorem on graph coloring.
